phone's dual 3.5-inch WVGA screens can be operated independent
of one another or combine in 'tablet mode' to add up to a single
4.7-inch integrated display (albeit one with a hinge in the middle).
The phone can be operated like most other touchscreen smartphones in
its single-screen mode, but in 'Simul-task Mode' users can run separate
apps on each screen - like, say, open a text on the upper screen while
reading an email on the lower one. Tablet mode, says Sprint, works well
for viewing videos and lists across a larger surface area.
